Never miss a local story.

Young musicians from age 6 through 18 and from Benton, Franklin, Walla Walla, Adams, Grant, Columbia, Klickitat and Yakima counties as well as Umatilla and Morrow counties in Oregon will compete in three age divisions and six categories: piano, strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion and vocals.

Each competitor will have 12 minutes to perform, and their chosen piece must be performed without sheet music.

There will be a winner in each division and two overall winners. The top two will have the opportunity to play with the Mid-Columbia Symphony at its spring concert.
